It's been almost a month since my last post so i thought that I would share a list of my top ten things that I've been excited about lately....
10- Figured out how to make Chicken Katsu. (Move over LNL's)
9- A Dulce De Leche Latte from Caribou Coffee. (See ya Starbucks)
8- March Madness. (Ooh the drama)
7- Super Wal-Mart. (One stop shop, where else can you do it?)
6- The Royal (Where our church meets)
5- MY CHURCH! (CATT)
4- Carla Towns (Superwoman!.. I told you that you'd be in my post.)
3- Our friends Kevin and Heather Spruill, Alex and Ann Centeno, Joe and Leslie Kim, Lee and Carla Towns (These are my peeps!)
2- Writing songs with my wife. (Boy am I lucky...hey get your mind out of the gutter)
1- Last but not least and what i'm excited about the most is that, I'm doing what God has called me to do, and for the last 10-12 years has been shaping me for. (No better feeling than being where you're suppose to be and doing what you're suppose to be doing.)
I LOVE that we're here in Raleigh now and what excites me even more is that we've only just begun. I'm soo excited about many other things but these were just some of the ones right of the top of my head. I honestly have to confess that every once in a while I miss my family and some close friends back in San Diego, but knowing that they share in this excitement and support the calling on our family is pretty special to me.
One of my prayer partners said something that I've seen everywhere and heard plenty of speakers share it, he said "it's about the Journey not the Destination." I've taken that to heart and it serves as a constant reminder that LIFE is to be savored not rushed. We're in this deal for the long haul and as long as GOD is pursuing us we're never going to stop pursuing him. Man I LOVE MY JOB!
For the KINGDOM!!

The Best Birthday ever!!!
No other way I'd rather spend it. My Birthday that is. When i woke up this morning I knew it was going to be awesome and it was. The first person to greet me was Riley and in his own way was wishing me a happy birthday. Next came Cameron, he had a different greeting. He was crying when he came into the room. I asked him why he was crying and he said that Mommy was being mean to him. After a little research, the real reason he was crying was because he wanted to surprise me with a birthday cake when i woke up. What a sweet boy.
My wife made me some biscuits with apple butter and fresh coffee, which are my favorite things to have in the morning. After that she had me open my cards and gifts from her and the boys. Everything thing that i got was awesome. After opening gifts we got dressed and went to join some of our peeps from church to go on a prayer walk.
The prayer walk was awesome, i had a chance to partner with my friend Phil Shepard. Phil is a real GODLY dude so i knew GOD was going to bless out time together. As Phil and I were walking i received an email from my friend Becky P and a text message from my other friend Jerry Ring with birthday greetings. That really blessed me. After the neighborhood walk our prayer group drove over to our possible location of the church and prayed there, that time was AMAZING and really powerful.
After that we had lunch with Lee, Carla and Carlee. That is always fun times especially with Carlee around. She's always good for a laugh.
After Lunch, Lauren and I went to her softball practice, I'm sure she'll post about it soon. My wife is an amazing athlete. I loved watching her because i know that she enjoys it and whatever she enjoys makes me really happy.
After practice we came home and much to my surprise my nieces who are here visiting from San Diego made me dinner and a birthday cake. I told you they were awesome!
Of all the activities of the day, my favorite part was after dinner. I spent some time with my boys, jumping, wrestling and roughin each other up. Here's what got me..As i was playing with them i realized that these are the best gifts that i could ever EVER get, and if all i were to get for the rest of my life on my birthday was time with my sons, those would be the best birthdays ever. Thanks Cam and Ri for making the happiest Dad in the world. I love you!!
